However, if you use iPlayer to download BBC programs, you may find that
your monthly download limit for broadband soon gets used up.

Michael Phillips, BroadbandChoices.co.uk product director, said: “The
popularity of IPTV services like the BBC iPlayer doesn’t seem to be
waning, but users need to keep an eye on their download limits if they’re
regularly streaming or downloading programmes.
“The BBC iPlayer uses legal peer-to-peer software and unless you
specifically choose to turn the iPlayer off, it will continue to upload
and download programmes as long as your PC is on.
“This will slow your connection down and you could end up exceeding your
download limit too.”

Downloading Roy Schestowitz's daily crap floods in COLA would do that a lot
faster than BBC downloads.
And at least the BBC programs are interesting.
Schestowitz is boring.
Very boring.
